TTI Travel

What TTI Travel does

TTI Travel is a privately held, Canadian-owned full-service travel management company headquartered in Toronto with additional offices in Quebec, Vancouver, and Calgary. Founded in 1970 and operating with 101–250 employees, the firm serves three primary customer segments: corporate clients requiring managed travel programs, affluent leisure travelers seeking bespoke experiences, and independent travel advisors enrolled in the company's host-agency program called "The Circle." TTI arranges air, hotel, cruise, and ground travel through a combination of dedicated account managers, in-person consultations, and proprietary technology platforms, with global reach extended through Virtuoso and BCD Travel affiliations.

The company's core technology platform is Amelia, a proprietary AI Travel Concierge launched in 2024 that generates dynamic tailor-made itineraries and detailed quotes in minutes. Named after Amelia Earhart, Amelia supports autonomous itinerary creation, natural language interaction with client preferences, and real-time adjustments, with exclusive access granted to independent advisors in The Circle program. TTI's technology stack also includes access to all three major Global Distribution Systems (Sabre, Apollo/Galileo, Amadeus), the Client Base CRM, commission tracking systems, and SAP Concur integration for corporate online booking. The product portfolio spans Corporate Travel Management, Groups & Meetings, the "Away" leisure brand, Group Travel, Luxury Cruise Offerings, and curated Virtuoso itineraries.

Revenue is generated primarily through supplier commissions on booked travel arrangements across airlines, cruise lines, tour operators, and hotels, supplemented by recurring support fees for independent advisors (back-office infrastructure, technology access, and financial services) and a transaction-based after-hours support fee. The firm maintains core strategic affiliations with Virtuoso and BCD Travel, preferred-partner status with Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Fairmont, Explora Journeys, and other premium hospitality and cruise brands, and operational partnerships with International SOS (travel risk), CIBTvisas (visa services), and Uber for Business (ground transport). The company is PIPEDA-compliant for personal data handling.
